Dilla Ghost Doom

Earlier this week, the much-lauded Stones Throw Records released a digital single from Dilla Ghost Doom. Three instantly recognized names in the hip-hop world, even in truncated form, collide for a frustratingly tantalizing posthumous glimpse into what might have been a fully realized project had we not lost the great J-Dilla at such a young age. Combining two of the instrumentals from Dilla’s excellent Donuts, MF DOOM and Ghostface Killah both lay down awesome performances (as is to be expected). The guitar-driven psych-hop of “Sniper Elite” (originally “Anti-American Graffiti”) is the perfect space for DOOM’s off-kilter drawl, while the dark, NYC-on-hallucinogens of “Murder Goons” (Donuts‘ “Geek Down”) finds Ghostface reppin’ Staten Island with typical ferocity and quick-witted bravado.

The Sniperlite digital single gives you the two standalone tracks plus the as-intended combined version for just $3… better cop that shit while ya can.
